Chapter 56: The World behind the Gate of the Fragmented Void

Cough….cough….cough….

A violent bout of coughing suddenly erupted in the pitch black place. The person was still lying on the ground. He was shaking uncontrollably and struggled to raise his body upright.

“Brat, you finally woke up….this old grandpa here might have been sent to death with you….”

The sword elder weakly without any strength said in Su Yun’s ears.

The dazed Su Yun was experiencing a painful headache. After his vision returned to him, he slowly surveyed the surrounding area. He was astounded by the place and ask, “Where is this….what….what happened?”

“I do not know. This place is very mysterious. I even do not know how have you come here. Everywhere in this cave are devouring force from the spirits. If you do not find a way out of here, soon or later, you will just die in here!” The sword elder warned.

Escape?

Su Yun remembered. He seemed to have entered a tombstone and actually fell on the way down. Is it possible that this place is just one person’s tomb? If that is the case, then the exit must be at the top of the tomb.

Su Yun hastily gazed up, but, the top was just a layer of pitch-black air. There was no end to it. From whence he fell from, it seemed that he would be unable to find out.

This won’t do….could he really not escape from this place?

Su Yun took a few deep breaths and sat himself back on the ground. He began to analyze the situation.

“Hey! Kid, you still have time to spare to sit? This old grandpa is using his own energy to protect you. Ah, did you really think that you could just ignore the power of this place by yourself? Quickly find a way out!” The sword elder said.

“I can’t get out!” Su yun sighed. Then he told about the recent events that occurred to the sword elder.

After the sword elder heard about the situation, he was also very surprised.

“This is called Sky Dragon Cemetery of the Su Family. How could there be an underground passage here?”

“I just don’t understand this.” Su Yun said as he stood up and staggeringly went forward.

“I feel that the exit at the top of this cave should be: Fragmented Void’s Gate.”

“Is it the one that one could only enter and never exit, Fragmented Void’s Gate? This type of magical door is usually only used for misdirection. Why would there be a gate like that here?”

“I do not know. Nonetheless, one thing is for certain, there must be a correct route for the passage under this tombstone! Therefore, the exit must be somewhere else. For us to escape from here, our only choice is to find the other Fragmented Void’s Gate.”

“We are ruined, completely ruined! Kid! This grandpa here cannot help you on finding the other Gate of the Fragmented Void. This time, I really cannot do anything to save you.” The sword elder repeatedly sighed for it seemed that there was no hope for them.

Fortunately, Su Yun did not exhibit an ounce of panic during the situation. Instead, he looked calm and collected. Then he asked, “Senior, you do not have to worry. I have one object that can help. It will also be able to temporarily extend the time that I have to stay here.”

“Oh?” The sword elder said. Soon after, he remembered and anxiously asked, “You mean the Heavenly Crystal, right?”

“Not bad!”

Su Yun nodded. Then he took the Heavenly Crystal out from his spatial ring. He gazed at it for a moment. He analyzed with intense focus. Then he said, “The Heavenly Crystal only have a little time left before it will fully recover. Right now, I do not think that it can be pushed up, I think….that it will require at least another day.”

“Wait another day? We can barely endure much longer and we still have to wait another day?”

The sword elder shook his and and said, “Ah, in the end, you still need me to help you. Kid, place the Heavenly Crystal on the ground.”

“On the ground?”

Su Yun was puzzled, “Senior, what are you trying to do?”

“Just place it down.”

“Uh, alright.”

Su Yun was still full of doubts as he completed the command.

After the Heavenly Crystal was placed on the ground, a sudden bright white streak of light flew out of the spatial ring. After the bright streak appeared, it illuminated the surrounding in a dazzling light. Soon after, the light vanished into the Heavenly Crystal.

As Su Yun saw this, he suddenly looked lifeless.

Even a fool could see what the sword elder was doing.

“Boy….following this….everything will be up to you now….”

The sword elder’s voice uttered one last sentence, but it was not vibrant with energy anymore. The voice sounded weak and sickly as his presence vanished….

“Master….” Su Yun called a few times, but there was no response. He gently clenched his fists as emotions swirled in his saddened eyes.

Afterwards, Su Yun went over and picked up the Heavenly Crystal. The energy inside the Heavenly Crystal had now become completely restored. It was ready to used. Now, he could immediately activate it.

Rich spirit power began to flood into his body, expelling the cold. The frozen meridians and blood in his frigid body began to melt. His body began to slowly recover. He could move now. His vitality was now almost completely invigorated.

Su Yun took a breath. Did he still dare to hesitate? He standed up and started towards the exit.

….

….

Boom!

A massive heavy spiritual force slammed down and clashed with the guard captain’s blade.

Su Qing Er’s arm was jolted back as her five fingers lost their grip. Her blade flew into the air.

However, she did not retreat. She only collapsed onto the ground. With a pale white face, tears flowed from her delicate face, silently crying.

Finally, her light of hope had been put out. She despaired alone, far away from everyone.

“Su Qing Er! How many times have I told you! Do not tangle with Su Yun! He is no longer your master and yet, you….are no longer his maid! He died as a trash, so why are you sad? Quickly go back to the main house and practice! If keep delaying and being lazy, then you will have to face punishment as well!” A solemn looking man shouted from behind her.

Looking at him, one could see that he brought a crowd of disciples as he arrived at the scene.

“I….want….to see….young master….” Su Qing Er said defiantly as she stressed every syllable.

“Come back!” The patriarch shouted.

However, the words were never heard by Su Qing Er.

They could only see that her spirit aura suddenly soared. Her spirit aura seemed to burst forth like a bomb as she rushed towards the enchantment. Her delicate hands clenched into fists as the spirit power clashed with the enchantment. She was crying as she slammed at the enchantment, “Hurry up and open the enchantment….I want to see young master….he certainly did not die….quickly open the enchantment….”
